Hahaha, I watched that when it was first released. Id' think the toilets are buried under the basement or something.

Is it likely that our thought paradigm of indoor bathrooms are not compatible with a civilization that relied heavily on outdoor facilities?

character

I’m thinking the archaic Spanish historical influence. There must have been relics from that past culture.

Was it 1495, or J495, or i495?

I don't remember. Wasn't paying that close of attention to anything other than the beauty of the architecture back in those days.

If AmeriIndians knew how to build stone homes, why were they living in buffalo hide teepees?

I simply cannot imagine someone waking up at 3 am on the 5th floor of this hotel and marching his/her happy self all the way down and outside to take a leak. It would be easier to imagine that they had some of these, but the technology mismatch would rule them out.

If we are ready to accept that they had public bathrooms outside, or chamber pots in this hotel, we might as well stop looking into all the inconsistencies we are faced with. This way anything can be semi-plausibly explained.

Having electricity is evident and perhaps wireless. Indoor plumbing was likely limited to lower floors. Those chamber pots are depicted in many historical films and relics of that time can be found as antiques today

Makes perfect sense.

They were nomads.

Another thing to consider is the amount of concrete used to put this hotel together. We have plenty of equipment drawings of what allegedly was used for mixing and pouring. Do we have any photographs though? It seems just about any construction photo we see is lacking the proper equipment.

This is this Ponce de Leon Hotel under construction. Did they use wood to build it, and then petrified it real quick?

It seems that, according to SH search, it is not mentioned elsewhere in here, but,
in south Biskayne Bay there is an artificial island, kept uninhabited, called Flagler Monument Island.

It is a part of the, also artificial, 'Venetian Islands'. In both their wikis we learn great interesting details about who built the first wooden bridges there and what game visitors play next to the monument (it's volleyball, ignorants!) but ... nothing about when, how and by whom the artificial islands themselves were created.
Geoengineering is such an easy task, compared to the construction of some wooden bridges, isn't it?

And what monument could that be?
An obelisk, of course! (with four 'allegorical statues' at the base)

And what shape does this artificial island have? Trapezoid, of course, similar to the artificial islands I discuss in my Artificial Islets thread.
How did I find it? I was looking for exactly that, trapezoid or nephroid islands around the grid of Miami. Well, it had to have an obelisk on, didn't it?

However, it did not always look like this; in case you haven't clicked the wiki link yet, here is the monument from 1922, standing on its artificial ... 'launch pad(?)' :

(At least we know who gave Flagler Monument Island its current trapezoid shape: "winds and hurricanes", lol.)

And here is a quick video-tour of it:

And how come it was only this island in the bay that had its shape reformed (btw, "winds and hurricanes" know how to square the circle, lol), while the rest seem to keep their forms intact?

I'd say those people did not need to defecate... You know being able to energize using "atmospheric energy" or whatever you want to call it. Versailles is another example. If indeed we were conquered by some malevolent forces, then it would seem we were castrated of this ability and made more like animals. Perhaps that's why we see examples of these hybrids in legends, old maps, etc.

Could this be a real example of this?
